Study on Preventive Maintenance Strategies of Filling Equipment Based on Reliability-Cantered Maintenance

Abstract

In order to ensure normal operation of enterprise production activities and enhance the competitiveness of enterprise, equipment management and maintenance strategy formulation has always been one of important contents of daily management of enterprise. According to the actual requirement of a Chinese beer production enterprise, preventive maintenance strategy of filling equipment is put forward based on reliability-centred maintenance (RCM). Firstly, on the basis of analyzing RCM theory and equipment maintenance, the general process of failure analysis of beer production equipment is presented. Secondly, the general production process of bottled beer is analyzed, and the composition of major filling equipment is also introduced in the beer production line. With the help of key indicators of equipment reliability, such as mean time between failure (MTBF), mean time to repair restoration (MTTR) and availability Ai, the fault analysis of filling production line is carried out, and the relevant results are calculated. Then, process failure mode and effect analysis (PFMEA) of filling machine is implemented, and fault tree analysis (FTA) of potential failure modes with high risk priority numbers is also completed. Finally, preventive and maintenance strategies of filling equipment are established on the basis of RCM. Through the research in this paper, maintenance costs and unplanned breakdown hours can be significantly reduced.
